Toon Zelda (Legend of Zelda) Discussion

This iteration debuted in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. She adided you in the final battle against Ganondorf. This iteration of Zelda only appears in one other game: Spirit Tracks. In here she is more helpful than the past Legend of Zelda games.

Why should she be in?Toon Zelda may be a bit ideal. She may lost some points due to her being a clone of Zelda, but her moves may vary. Some of the ideas for a moveset are courtesy of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

MovelistHer standard attacks, side attacks, and smash attacks should be the same, minus the magic at the end. She should be as powerful as her old counterpart.

Her grabs should be more simple and without regular Zelda's magic zing.

Side Special: Phantom Shield - Summons a Phantom to defend against attacks and reflect projectiles.

Down Special: Transformation - Toon Zelda is enshrouded by the Triforce and emeges as Tetra.

Up Special: Cyclos' Blessing - A Cyclone carries Toon Zelda which damages opponents and if airborne can give you mobility for a time.

Final Smash: Triforce Shot - Toon Zelda prays for aid and the Triforce immobilizes anyone in range. Toon Zelda then teleports to the side and shoots a Light Arrow at the center of the Triforce. The impact knocks the immonoblized enemy/ies out.

As Tetra, her standard, air, and smash attacks should focus on her sword, similar to those in Hyrule Warriors.

As for the Special Attacks:

Standing Special: Boomerang Sword - Tetra throws her sword like a Boomerang and like a boomerang it returns after a distance. How long you charge the attack determines the distance.

Side Special: Evasive Slash - Tetra does an acrobatic move. Hit the attack button to do a crescent slash.

It would be very interesting if she could transform into Tetra instead of Shiek.

I think that for her to be included, we could change her moveset away from Zelda's a lot more; there are a lot of elements from Minish cap, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Wind Waker that could be represented here.

If Toon Zelda transforms into Tetra, I think having Toon Zelda herself be a clone of regular Zelda would be kinda cool. As a princess she's not too different, but once she transforms it's a whole different ball game.

Toon Zelda held a sword at the end of Wind Waker and can use one while possessing a phantom, so it's not completely out of the question.

Thinking about this further... what really separates Tetra from Captain Syrup as a potential rep? Both can be given a sword and pistol, but Syrup has minions and technology on her side, while Tetra has... acrobatics? What?

Tetra's up special could be the grappling hook in her up special and grab. ZSS did it in brawl. Maybe if used on land, Tetra swings around the hook like a lasso charging it up, and when you press B again she flings it like a whip in a direction of your choice. This could bring opponents towards you too, except they don't have to just be in front of you. I dunno, just an idea. Also yeah, she should DEFINITELY use her pistol in one of her attacks. Some attacks could be take straight from Hyrule Warriors.

It would be like me asking why Nintendo put Cloud in when Gustave from SaGa Frontier 2 is also a PS1-era Square JRPG character with a gigantic sword and super versions of moves that charge over time. Sure, they could have put Gustave in instead, and he would have even been fairly similar, but Cloud's the far more popular character even if Gustave is cooler.

Unfortunately... Whatever Tetra can do, Toon Link can do better. Sword? Master sword > Cutlass. Bombs? Already there. Acrobatics? Maybe slightly faster than Toon Link... Sure, giving Tetra the Hyrule Warriors Pistol would make sense, but it's kind of awkward to see that a co-developed game added a weapon no one is certain even exists in zelda lore.

Toon Zelda should be her own character, perhaps with a mix of Bow & Light Arrow, Wind waker and Phantom Slash
